Oscillations of Systems with One Degree of Freedom

Chapter
Part of the Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics book series (ULNP)

Abstract

Oscillations are periodic or quasi-periodic motions, or, more generally, the evolution, of a large number of physical systems, which may be very different from one another. However, the principal characteristics of the oscillatory phenomena are similar. This is because the differential equation describing those systems is the same. In this chapter, we study the oscillations of systems with one degree of freedom, both mechanical and electric. We deal with free, damped and forced oscillations and study the resonance phenomenon.
